My apartment is at 27th floor. obviously, i have no choice except riding elevators. But if the building is not too high, i’d rather to take the stairs, because i hate waiting.

 Japan is a country where people are expected to ignore with each other. If you talk to strangers in a public space, you are violating an unwritten rule.  Elevators are a good example where you notice it, particularly if you are from another country like the US, where it is considered polite to greet when people find themselves in close encounters with others in public spaces like streets.

So, in the elevator in Japan, you punch the floor bottom by yourself even if it is crowded and difficult to get to the switch board. It is very very rare someone near the buttons asks you which floor you want to go and select the button for you. When it is really crowded and it’s impossible, you have to speak out. Then, of course, someone will do it for you, but people sort of pretend in silence as if saying, ‘Oh, I didn’t notice it’s that crowded,’ after the fact.  

There is no doubt that riding an elevator is much better than taking stairs in the high apartments. It’s so comfortable I even can’t imagine going to 9th floor of an office without elevator. oh deer. 

I can’t remember very well but as far as i know there was a building with 18 levels. Maybe higher. 

It is true that elevators save time but its biggest drawback is that it make us lazy ,so it’s better to take stairs when we have time, it ’s freakin benefitial for heart, muscles… , and saying “it’s tiring ” is ,well, just a lame excuse ,you’ll get used to it,but not kill urself (watch horizon documuntry the truth about exercise) it’s striking  .

In fact my country is large so we’re still expanding horizontally ,maybe one day being crowded will oblige us to stab the clouds …

From the 5th floor I use elevator to go up. When I go down, I don’t use it eveytime. It’s much easier walk down, I don’t need to fight with gravity.

It depends. If I need to go up to 5th floor, I would choose an elevator.

It’s good to climb the stairs. My aunt lives at 8th floor without elevator. She said that it’s a healthy workout everyday.

I am not claustophobic. But I am afraid to ride an elevator to high floor building. It will make me feel uncomfortable.

Once I’ve seen it in my dream, how I’m going up in the elavator, it breaks the roof and going up and up and the next morning when I woke up, i got a message about my relative death.

Without elevators, there no doubt to say that we will never have the sky scratch buildings like they are nowaday. i have to admire the human intelligences which are making this world becomes wonderful day by day.
